Abstract:
A method for de-bonding of a bonded article (1), in particular a bonded glass article (1), which comprises a carrier substrate (2), in particular a glass carrier substrate (2), having a bonding surface (3.1), and an ultra-thin substrate (3), in particular an ultra-thin glass substrate (3), having a first and a second surface (3.1, 3.2) and a thickness t, where the first surface (3.1) of the ultra-thin substrate (3) forms a bonding surface (3.1) with which the ultra-thin substrate (3) is bonded to the bonding surface (3.1) of the carrier substrate (2). The method comprises adhering a contact film (4) onto the second surface (3.2) of the ultra-thin substrate (3) and retaining the ultra-thin substrate (3) with its second surface (3.2) via the contact film (4) on a retaining surface (6.1) of a retaining device (6). The method further comprises de-bonding the ultra-thin substrate (3) from the carrier substrate (2) by applying a, preferably mechanical, de-bonding force to the carrier substrate (2) relative to the retaining device (6), and removing the contact film (4) from the second surface (3.2) of the de-bonded ultra-thin substrate (3). Preferably, a weakening treatment (8) is applied to the contact film (4) after the de-bonding of the ultra-thin substrate (3) which reduces the adhesion force between the contact film (4) and the second surface (3.2) of the ultra-thin substrate (3).

Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft unter anderem eine Schweißvorrichtung (10) zum Anschweißen einer Folie an einem Substrat, mit einem Schweißkopf (11). Um insbesondere ein ungewolltes Ablösen beziehungsweise Abreißen der Folie oder ein Einreißen der Schweißverbindung verhindert zu können, insbesondere dann, wenn die Folie von unten an das Substrat angeschweißt wird, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Schweißkopf (11) einen beheizbaren Schweißstempel (16) zum Erzeugen einer Schweißverbindung und eine benachbart zum Schweißstempel (16) vorgesehene Kühleinrichtung (21) zum Kühlen der Schweißverbindung oder einer Schweißzone aufweist.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a film carrier for sputtering of IC units placed thereon, the method comprising the steps of: providing a carrier of IC units; removing said units from the carrier; delivering said IC units to a flipper; inverting and delivering said units to a sputtering film frame; placing the units on said sputtering film frame in an array having a pre-determined clearance about adjacent units.
Abstract:
A multi-reel handling apparatus is configured for aligning a first tape reel having a first winding axis with a feeding position and/or a corresponding tape transport axis; disposing a second tape reel having a second winding axis a standby position offset from the feeding position; performing first tape transfer operations directed to the first tape reel; and after the first tape transfer operations, simultaneously displacing the first and second tape reels by (a) linearly shuttling the first and second tape reels in a common direction perpendicular to the tape transport axis, or (b) changing the physical locations of the first and second tape reels by rotating the first and second tape reels about a common pivot axis oriented perpendicular to the first and second winding axes to thereby (i) dispose the second tape reel at the feeding position, and (ii) dispose the first tape reel at a standby position.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for processing singulated radio-frequency (RF) units. In some embodiments, a device for processing singulated RF packages can include a plate having a plurality of apertures. Each aperture can be dimensioned to receive and position a singulated RF package to thereby facilitate processing of the singulated RF packages positioned in their respective apertures. In some embodiments, such a device can be utilized to batch process high volume of RF packages as if the RF packages are still in a panel format.
